1/2 cup butter
1 heaping cup of sugar
1 well-beaten egg
1 tablespoon cream
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven 475º
Cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and mix well. Add the flour and cream. Dust a board with flour. Roll the dough very thin. Cut cookies with a round cookie cutter.
***I still do as my grandmother did and cut my tea cakes with a ring from an old ball jar.
Place on a buttered or nonstick cookie sheet. I bake my on parchment paper. Bake at 475 F for about 5 minutes. Do not be tempted to bake them longer. 6 minutes maximum!
Let cool on baking sheet a minute or so, then carefully remove to rack to finish cooling.
**There are times that I will add a 1/4 tsp. of vanilla extract plus 1/4 tsp. of almond extract to this recipe. But then I don't consider them tea cakes any longer, but now a sugar cookie instead.
